Subject: [Leica] Question about Lightroom and an Epson 3800 Printer

I am trying to optimize my printing with an Epson 3800. I am using Lightroom 
to process the images.

I have a few questions regarding maxium usable resolution of a photo sent to 
an Epson 3800 for printing.

Lightroom has an option in the print module for specifying the resolution 
(dpi) of the file sent to the printer.  The range of values specified in 
Lightroom is 72-480 dpi.  I seem to recall reading somewhere that there was 
an upper limit to the resolution of the file being sent to the 
printer...i.e., anything  greater than say 300 dpi was wasted.

Does anyone know what the upper limit is for an Epson 3800?  Is there a 
problem with specifying 480dpi Lightroom as the default?

Thanks in advance for any insights.
